A pregnancy test performed on the same date as a preventive service may be reported separately using the CPT code appropriate to the test (e.g., 81025, âUrine pregnancy test, by visual color comparison methodsâ) and a diagnosis code from the V72.4X series (pregnancy examination or test).
This process is called continental drift. The plates move because of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. These are driven by the heat produced by the decay of radioactive elements and heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
The tectonic plates are a combination of the crust and the outer mantle, also called the lithosphere. These plates move very slowly, around a couple of inches a year. Where the plates touch each other is called a fault. When the plates move and the boundaries bump up against each other it can cause an earthquake.
